"I want you to meet someone baby."Alex said coming to open the door for me. I got out and so did Ocean then he opened the door to the back seat and took the flowers out. He took my hand and we got in the cemetery with the other holding the flowers.
My heart was really beating so fast right now. We walked until we came to a stop and Alex looked at me. I looked at him then at where we stopped to see the writings written on the cemented grave." Lexi Scott." Oh my God, he brought me to meet his sister.
"Baby, meet my sister Lexi."he said and I looked at him but he was looking at the grave now. I looked back at the grave." Heey sis, look who I came with today? She's my beautiful wife and I would love you to meet her. She's the best and I love her so much and I bet you would. I brought you flowers and I'm sorry I didn't come for a long time. I was really busy making your dreams come true and you wouldn't believe what I achieved for you."Alex said smiling and he put the flowers on the grave." Now, I'm focusing on myself now and my family. I hope you don't have a problem with that. I'm starting my own dreams now. I just hope you are happy for me."Alex added then he went quiet. He didn't talk again and I looked at him all the while. I just don't know what to do or say." Aren't you gonna say something to your sister in-law?"he asked and I smiled.
"I don't know what to say."
"You can just greet her."he said smiling at me.
I looked at the grave and I took a deep breath." Okay, Lexi, I am Kimberly. I know you don't know me. It's my first time meeting you and I'm really happy that I got to meet you finally. I'm Alex's wife and I have to say that he's the best husband I could ever ask for. He's the best person I have met and I really love him so much. All I could ask is for you to make him realize that it's not his fault. He's been drawning in self blame and I would like that you would help him realize that he doesn't have to blame himself for everything that happened to you. That's all."I finished talking and I felt Alex hug me then he kissed my forehead.
"I love you sweetheart. So much and I really appreciate that you always pray for the best for me. I'm really lucky to have you."he said and I hugged him back tightly smiling.
"I'm lucky to have you too."I said and we stayed like that for a while until we heard Ocean bark.
"Fuck!! Ocean?!!Can't you let me have a second with my wife? I'm really gonna give you out for adoption because you are not helping at all. I can't have you giving me this competition and always stealing my time that I'm supposed to be with my wife."Alex said getting out of the hug and I chuckled.
"Don't be hard on him Alex. You are being so petty. He's just a dog."I said and Alex looked at me.
"No he's not. He's trying to make me jealous and I am not allowing that."he said and I laughed.
"What are you gonna do because I want him to come back with us to new York?"I asked Alex and Ocean barked wiggling his tail.
"Hell no. No in the world I'm gonna allow that. He's staying here and that's final."he said and I frowned.
"But I don't trust his caretaker, what's her name again, Grace. Yeah, Grace."I said.
"What are you talking about?"Alex asked curiously.
"I just feel like something isn't right. But maybe I'm just... I don't know. Let's drop this topic. But if we are leaving Ocean, we are leaving him under your grandpa's care."I said.
"That's better than carrying him with us. He'll be in good care with grandpa anyway. They are best of friends. Well, they used to be until you came."he said and I giggled.
We stayed there for a while then we left for home. We reached Alex's house and we cooked lunch but later Grace came and Alex told her that Ocean will be under his grandpa's care. I saw how she looked at me and I wondered why all the bad things that's happening to people around here they are blaming it on me. Furthermore, it's not like Grace was not paid, Alex gave her some money and what's better than free money that you haven't worked for. She's supposed to be happy and not glare at me.
We stayed with Alex in LA for a few next days with him taking me to places that he spent when he was growing up and I must say that it's nice growing up in a rich family but all in all he wasn't happy. He just visited them because maybe it was a family day out and he had to go. He never enjoyed himself but now that I visited with him after so many years he said that the places seemed all new like he had never visited them all his life and it was his first time visiting them because I make his world really lively. I really felt good knowing about that, I mean who wouldn't.
The day to leave for New York came and I felt like I can't leave. Alex's hometown was really fun and I couldn't get enough of it. With all the visiting the park to going swimming, to playing golf with his grandfather, dad and him. Damn, that was really fun. Dad and I were really in good terms and I was worried for nothing. Alex's mom hadn't changed and nobody cared about her not even her husband. Val tried to fit in but what were doing didn't really suit her so she ended up watching most of the times with Alex's mother. Well that was when we went to Alex's parents house to play golf and many other games. They really had this massive land and I wondered how much money they spent in it. The rest places we visited with Alex and I alone. Places like the pack others of that sort. In short we went to his parents home to play golf and other games.
"Your home town is fucking fun Alex?"I told Alex when we heading to the jet terminal.
"You think so?"he asked and I nodded smiling." Well it wasn't fun for me when I growing up. I hated living here because everyone saw me as a murderer, you know what I mean. It was like I was on my jail term and I fucking hated the torture. But now I came, people are looking at me with admiration and I know it's because I'm now successful. If I became a loser, everybody would be talking about me being a murderer till now."he said and I really felt bad for him. I can't imagine growing up in a place where people viewed me as a murderer. Alex's had it really hard and I'm proud of him because he proved them people wrong.
"I'm really proud of you. You are really strong Alex and I'm very proud of you. If you overcome such a situation, you can do anything in this world. Because you are my Alex and my love will always guide you wherever and whenever. No matter what happens in the future, always trust on your love for me and it will add more strength to you and overcome everything. Now you have me and when I'm not around you will always have my love and heart."I said and Alex smiled.
"I'll remember to do that but you will always be with me. I'll make sure of that. You belong with me now and forever."he said and at that time my phone rung. I took it from my back pocket of my jeans and looked at the caller ID.
"Who is it?"he asked.
"It's Shawn."I said then I looked at him.
"Why are you hesitating, you should pick it up."he said smiling but I just cut the call and I switched off my phone.
"He and I are on break and I hope you will not be involved in this saga because I feel like you are and I'll be very mad."I said and Alex looked at me with a straight face.
" What are you talking about?"he asked.
